Trivia
Shortly after the film's release, New Zealand Police reported an increase in Mini thefts across the country.

Goofs
In the scene in the train, as they approach Kaikoura, John makes mention of watching out for UFO's. This is a reference to the Kaikoura UFO incident, but this occurred in December, 1978, not September, so although the event was well known by the time of filming, it could not have been known about two and a half months beforehand.

Quotes
John: I'm taking this bloody car to Invercargill, boy!

Alternate versions
When originally released theatrically in the UK, the BBFC released this in a shorter form at 94 minutes 34 seconds to secure a 'AA' rating. The film was then released to home video in 1995 with an '18' rating running to the longer 102 minutes (PAL) (105 minutes theatrical) run time.

Classic piece of NZ cinema

A classic NZ movie. Two rebels and a stolen yellow mini treat us to a bunch of laughs as they stay ahead of the police on a 1000 mile road trip from top to bottom of NZ. Goodbye Pork Pie was a local blockbuster and sold to more overseas territories than any film of the time This is available as PAL VHS in NZ for less than $nz15.00 about $us9.00
